Summary
I am a high-performing, internationally experienced interim manager with a focus on building and growing operations, leading and restructuring, and turning around manufacturing companies, as well as on process optimization across the value chain. I also have deep hands-on experience introducing the Lean Management philosophy and its tools, as well as OpEx methods, serving as a facilitator, trainer, and coach.
One of my core strengths is my strong execution skills; I am able to motivate employees and teams and inspire them toward a common goal.
Through many years of leadership experience in international project management and in leading medium-sized, including family-owned, companies in "critical situations", I have gained technical and economic expertise and extensive knowledge in change management, achieving sustainable success.
